Great drummer. Only 5 years older than I. Brain cancer.

:cry:

The same thing that killed a relative of mine. Too bad. The end of Rush? Neil Peart wrote the lyrics to the songs if I recall correctly.

I remember when his daughter and wife died so soon together, and he did a solo motorbike journey across North America to philosophise and mourn them. His grief was profound.

Rest in peace to one of the best.

Growing up, it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass-production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer
Or the misfit so alone

One of the greatest drummers of all time. I got to see Rush live a few times over the years and they always put on a great show. Neil’s drum solos were often the highlight of their live shows. I feel lucky that I got to see a true master of his craft. So many drummers today owe a huge debt to him. He will be greatly missed. RIP.

I saw him perform with RUSH, too.

Only the good die young, it seems.
